In Lin Yunzhi's opinion, Ye Junfei was far superior to Zhou Chenyang in terms of age, demeanor, and character.
But since Lin Xiuyan liked Zhou Chenyang so much before, and now that this has happened, he should give Lin Xiuyan time to heal her heartbreak.
Normally, outsiders are not allowed to enter the accounting office, but Lin Yunzhi didn't mind at all.
He also had someone brew a pot of fine tea for Ye Junfei, so that Ye Junfei could drink it while waiting for Lin Xiuyan.
Ye Junfei watched as the father and daughter, who had initially been happily teaching and learning together, soon began to argue, and he slightly raised an eyebrow.
At the beginning, Lin Xiuyan was doing the accounting, and Lin Yunzhi was giving her instructions in a relatively gentle tone.
Then he started to get anxious: "That's not how it works, you're doing it wrong!"
Lin Xiuyan argued forcefully: "Where is the mistake? The calculated numbers are clearly the same."
"You just got it right by chance this time. I've never seen such an algorithm before. If you were given a more complex one, you would definitely make a mistake."
"Dad, this page is complicated enough, but I still figured it out correctly. Your previous algorithm is too old-fashioned and outdated. Why don't I teach you instead!"
"You want to teach me? Are you kidding me! What have you taught me every time you've entered the accounting office today?"
"Although I haven't spent as much time doing calculations as you, and I don't have as much experience as you, I think my method is simpler, and also, my mental arithmetic skills are better than yours."
“You’re wrong! The way you calculate it… oh, it seems simpler, but your method is unconventional; the accountant won’t understand it.”
"This ledger was originally meant for me to see. As long as I can understand it myself, I don't need to worry about whether the accountant can understand it or not."
"..."
The two almost came to blows by the end of their conversation.
In fact, Lin Yunzhi, this doting father, had no limits when it came to spoiling Lin Xiuyan; his only limit was the account book.
Because this is the field he is most proud of in his life, the accounting methods he uses today are still the ones he improved.
If Lin Xiuyan were to change his most prized accounting methods as soon as she entered the accounting room, he would definitely freak out.
Ye Junfei found their behavior somewhat amusing, a hint of envy in his eyes. No one had ever been willing to be this close to him before.
The father and daughter were arguing fiercely when Lin Yunzhi turned to Ye Junfei and said, "Little Ye, you be the judge and see who is right and who is wrong!"
Ye Junfei smiled and said, "Even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes, let alone someone who is not an upright official."
Lin Yunzhi laughed heartily: "You put it well, I like it!"
After he finished speaking, he said to Lin Xiuyan, "I know you have been extremely good at calculations since you were little. Your algorithm is really only applicable to yourself and no one else can replicate it."
Lin Xiuyan agreed with him this time: "So my method is also fine. As long as I can understand it myself, it's fine."
Lin Yunzhi got a little carried away listening to this, and Lin Xiuyan reached out to massage his shoulders: "Dad, do you know why I'm so smart?"
Lin Yunzhi asked, "Why?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "Because my dad is smart!"
Lin Yunzhi liked hearing this: "Alright, as long as you can understand it yourself, I won't care even if what you remember is just scribbles."
Lin Xiuyan said happily, "Dad is the best!"
Watching the father and daughter interact, Ye Junfei felt from the bottom of his heart that his choice had been very wise.
Just then, Lin An came in and said, "Master, something has happened."
Lin Yunzhi frowned: "Is Zhou Chenyang causing trouble again?"
Lin An replied, "No, it's that the young master of the Fan family got into a gambling den after arriving in Chongqing."
"He not only lost all the money he had spent on purchasing medicinal herbs at the gambling den, but also owed the gambling den millions of taels of silver."
"He was detained in the gambling den and couldn't get out, so his servant came to the mansion to ask for help."
Lin Yunzhi was quite surprised: "What did he bet on, and how could he bet such a large sum?"
Lin An replied, "He bet on the Ruyi scale."
Lin Yunzhi looked completely bewildered: "Ruyi Cheng? What is Ruyi Cheng?"
Lin An wasn't too clear either, only knowing that it was a betting game with a very high multiplier.
Lin Xiuyan said from the side, "Ruyi said that there is a game in the gambling house, which has nine rounds in total."
"Regardless of who wins or loses the previous rounds, the chips double every round."
"The winner of the ninth round will take all the silver."
"Because the silver is doubled every round, the amount that is offered will be very large."
"Many people think it's just a doubling and don't take it too seriously. But when they lose the ninth game, the number often exceeds their tolerance."
"This type of gambling is full of traps, and with the huge sums of money involved, it can always make one side happy while the other side goes bankrupt."
"Therefore, people reversed the characters for 'satisfied' and called it 'as desired'."
Lin Yunzhi never went to gambling dens, and after hearing Lin Xiuyan's explanation, he cursed, "Zhou Chenyang is shameless!"
Since Zhou Chenyang became the city lord of Yucheng, he has taken control of the most lucrative places in Yucheng, such as gambling dens and brothels, turning them into his private property.
Lin Yunzhi knew about the Fan family's upbringing; under normal circumstances, the young master of the Fan family would not go to a gambling den.
He wouldn't believe that this trip to the gambling den wasn't orchestrated by Zhou Chenyang.
He now faces two choices: one is to help the young master of the Fan family escape from the gambling den, and the other is to ignore the young master of the Fan family.
Both of these factors have a significant impact on the Lin family.
Firstly, the Lin family couldn't afford to pay off the gambling debts of Fan Shaodong's family.
Secondly, regardless of the Fan family's situation, it's extremely unfair for the Fan family, as a long-term partner of the Lin family, to do this.
In the end, the Fan family was the biggest buyer of the Lin family's medicinal herbs. If the Fan family hadn't bought the herbs from the Lin family this time, it would have been difficult for the Lin family to sell the herbs that were stockpiled in their warehouses.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiuyan said, "Father, we have to find a way to get this young master Fan out of here."
"How do we fish it out?" Lin Yunzhi asked.
Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly: "Father doesn't even know what a Ruyi scale is, so we can't count on you to help him out."
“I’ve been to the casino a few times before when I had nothing to do, so I might be able to handle this.”
Lin Yunzhi's eyelids twitched. In his mind, she was very good at being mischievous, but he really didn't know that she had actually been to a gambling den.
He pulled out a feather duster and started hitting her: "You've really gone to gamble! You actually dared to go to the casino!"
Lin Xiuyan was so slapped that she jumped up and down. With nowhere to hide, she simply hid behind Ye Junfei.
She poked her head out and said, "Doing business inherently requires dealing with all sorts of people."
"What's wrong with me going to the gambling den? I'm not addicted! I'm just going to check it out!"
Lin Yunzhi was so angry he wanted to slap her again: "There are a few things in this world that you can't touch, including whoring and gambling. If you do, your family will be ruined!"
